Scarlett Gauthier (0 KP) rated Gemina: The Illuminae Files: Book 2 in Books

Mar 17, 2018

This series continues to amaze me! While I feel like I slightly liked Illuminae a little bit more, Gemina was still completely amazing! I loved the new characters, and was just as emotionally attached to them as I had been to the ones in the first book. The writing style was just as good if not better than Illuminae, especially some parts at the end, including pages that had me turning the book upside down and sideways and just some truly amazing pages that I can’t talk about without spoilers. And the twists! I seriously don’t know how I’m going to wait over two months for Obsidio. This has easily become one of my favorite series ever!

Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Death at First Sight (Bay Island Psychic Mystery #1) in Books

Feb 21, 2018

Book #1 in the Bay Island Psychic mystery series.

This paranormal cozy mystery was really mostly cozy, with just a touch of paranormal, but that was fine with me. I loved the protagonist, Cass. She and her friends were very well developed, and felt like a group of people Id like to get to know. The mystery itself was well written and full of surprises. It took me a few chapters to get really sucked in, but once I did, I couldnt put it down. This was a great way to start a series Ill be watching for book #2!

<i>NOTE: I voluntary read and reviewed an advanced copy.</i>

Very well written and will leave you begging for the sequel!!

This is an amazing book...the first series I have been super excited about in a long time. The characters are very multi-dimensional with good and bad traits. You take a journey with the main character, Elloren, and see the world and other characters the way she does. The author is phenomenal at showing versus telling so you see the world that she has created and feel the history behind all of the cultures.

I have not been this excited about a series since Harry Potter. I have read this book 3 times and cannot wait until The Light Mage and The Iron Flower are available!!!

David McK (3562 KP) rated Deathwish (Cal Leandros, #4) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

Fourth book in Rob(yn) Thurman's Cal Leandros series, I found this one to be both slower moving and harder to get into than the previous novels in the series.

This, I believe, is also the first book in which Thurman splits the narration between the two brothers: the problem with that being, as another reviewer rightly pointed out, that both brothers 'sound' exactly the same, meaning that (quite often) it's easy to get confused about who is narrating! Would have worked better if each of the brothers had their own tone more than they do, rather than sound like clones of each other (which they are emphatically described as being not) ...

This book wasn't my favourite out of the series yes it had twists and turns quite a few i saw coming , I'm not the biggest fan of viktor and i don't like elizabeth.
Viktor ok ish but beth....... iv been through crap that should have sent me more bat shit crazy than beth and yes i know "she has the crazy genes" but her character for me was flat and i just didn't like her in it. Benny was still on top form as usual. I missed jade she was my fave from the start and she kinda faded out in this book x but as a whole it was an amazing ride (the whole series )
